Toilet position: squat not sit

Squatting is a healthier way to go according to various researchers. Here are some products than can help you convert your toilet to accommodate your squat posture.

On August 26, the online magazine Slate provided a review of the health benefits of squatting that include shorter potty time, "'complete evacuation' of the colon, ridding our bowel of disease-causing toxins," and hemorrhoid prevention.
